Body Typed, a trilogy of short films and an interactive website, uses humor to raise serious questions about the marketplace of commercial illusion and unrealizable standards of physical perfection. In the first short film in the trilogy, Wet Dreams and False Images, Dee-Dee the barber learns about the art of photo retouching, and will never look at his “wall of beauty” the same way again. The Guarantee tells a dancer’s hilarious story about his prominent nose and the effect it has on his career, while 34x25x36 addresses the intersection of mannequins, perfection, and religion.
